This course is designed to provide an understanding of today’s complex system mainframe environment on the System z servers. It is mainly targeted for operators, technical support, system programmers, and any others who need to keep current in this mainframe environment. Through lecture and hands-on exercises, you learn how the hardware and operating systems interact.
This course addresses the following topics:
- Current and future mainframe directions
- Overview of System z hardware, mainframe environment, and I/O operations
- Overview of the Hardware Management Console
- Overview of System z operating system
- Supporting labs
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Identify System z server hardware
- Determine PU assignments and usage
- Identify all available channel usage and assignments on the System z servers
- Identify logical partition assignments and activation profiles
- Identify Capacity on Demand functions
- Identify major components of Parallel Sysplex
- Identify the major components of z/OS
- Identify the major z/OS enhancements for the System z including Hipersockets and Intelligent Resource Director (IRD)
- Identify the major steps to define the I/O configuration
- Use the HMC to do basic functions, such as CPC, LP and system activation
- Identify load failures using the HMC
- Compare current supported processor architectures in today’s mainframe environment to various, 24-, 31-, 64-bit addressing implementations in relationship to storage management and usage and system facilities
